Graham v. Board of Supervisors of Erie County

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 30, 1967
27 A.D.2d 902 (N.Y. App. Div. 1967)

Opinion

March 30, 1967

Appeal from the Erie Special Term.

Present — Williams, P.J., Goldman, Henry, Del Vecchio and Marsh, JJ. (Order entered March 13, 1967.)


Order unanimously modified on the law and facts and in the exercise of our discretion by reversing and striking therefrom the second ordering paragraph, and as so modified affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: Special Term lacked the power and authority to restrain the Board of Elections and the Common Council from submitting the issue of the sales tax referendum to the voters on March 28, 1967. This determination was not ancillary to the continued retention of jurisdiction which the court had over reapportionment. Furthermore, even if we had determined that the court had authority to exercise discretion we would hold that such discretion was improvidently exercised.
